Confirmations

• I am using the most recent Minecraft release.
• I am using a version of WorldEdit compatible with my Minecraft version.
• I am using the latest or recommended version of my platform software.
• I am NOT using a hybrid server, e.g. a server that combines Bukkit and Forge. Examples include Arclight, Mohist, and Cardboard.
• I am NOT using a fork of WorldEdit, such as FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) or AsyncWorldEdit (AWE)

Bug Description

World edit seems to inflate the heap for servers to sizes that pretty much cause the server to lag out. It took me forever to find out what mod was causing the tps to drop because I thought it was a mod that adds content and features. But somehow it's being caused by world edit. I extracted the Heap using spark and was able to get this information.
World edit is currently causing a memory leak that occupies 1.1 GB worth of Memory. Which makes my server unplayable when world edit is installed.

I have provided the full heap file so someone with more knowledge can get to the bottom of this.

`469,374 instances of “com.sk89q.worldedit.world.block.BlockState”, loaded by “cpw.mods.modlauncher.TransformingClassLoader @ 0x686293dc8” occupy 1,204,680,040 (40.96%) bytes.

Most of these instances are referenced from one instance of “java.lang.Object[]”, loaded by “”, which occupies 4,194,328 (0.14%) bytes. The instance is referenced by “it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.Int2ObjectOpenHashMap @ 0x6d100fa38”, loaded by “cpw.mods.cl.ModuleClassLoader @ 0x68319eaa8”.

Thread “java.lang.Thread @ 0x6c7664080 FileSystemWatchService” has a local variable or reference to “cpw.mods.modlauncher.TransformingClassLoader @ 0x686293dc8” which is on the shortest path to “java.lang.Object[1048577] @ 0x713000000”.

WorldEdit needs to inherently store a list of all blocks that exist, which is what your memory dump indicates is taking 1.2GB of space. This isn't a memory leak, this is another mod on your server massively abusing the concept of block states, leading to massive pollution of the block state list.
